The record industry is suing a pair of AI music-making companies over copyright issues. Listen to some of the songs that the record cos were able to generate from prompts…they are very close to the originals.

The one that really broke my brain was that Udio could do a dead-on deepfake of "Weird Al" Yankovic without even specifying his name in the prompt. You just have to ask for variations of "1980s comedy polka." The first example in this video is a good resemblance, but the second is near flawless.
Absolutely wild to me that the RIAA are the apparent "good guys" in this fight. Almost like the X-Men teaming up with Magneto.
